Current students wishing to transfer into the nursing program must meet the same criteria as external applicants.

Admission Requirements

A minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 is required. Admission to the program is selective and competitive, as there are a limited number of seats available within each entering fall class. Prospective internal applicants must submit their completed Transfer Within form and all supplemental materials by April 15th to be considered for entry.

The next term for entry consideration is August 2019. The deadline to ensure consideration of possible entry selection to the next class is April 15, 2019. You are encouraged to submit the application (Transfer Within form) and all required documents well in advance of the deadline. Internal applicants who still have prerequisites to complete beyond April 15th but will be completed by August can still apply, however space availability will be extremely limited. Only completed applications, including submission of all supplemental documents and up-to-date transcripts will be reviewed by the selections committee for an invitation to interview.
